BELARUS: At 15 curies per square kilometer from every square meter radiate 550,000 becquerel. For comparison: Before Chernobyl cesium load was about 1,000 becquerel per square meter as a result of above-ground nuclear weapons tests. 15 curies per square kilometer is not the maximum value: Hundreds of villages are contaminated with 60 or more Curie. 147 Curie in Tschudjany, in Nowojelna 390 Curie (this corresponds to 14.4 million becquerels per square meter). All these villages – a total of more than 500 – are still inhabited. http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-13499932.html

“The permissible limits currently set in the EU and Japan for radiation protection mean that the population is exposed to an unnecessarily high risk to health. If we assume that the population of Germany were to ingest food containing the current maximum limits of contamination permitted in the EU – equivalent to the limits applying to imports from Japan – children and adolescents would each be exposed to an annual effective dose of 68 millisieverts (mSv) and adults of 33 mSv. The German radiation protection legislation that governs the operation of nuclear power plants stipulates that the legally permissible limit of total exposure from all exposure pathways is 1 mSv per year for individuals. This means that if children and adolescents ingested the amount of radioactive contamination permitted by EU and Japanese regulations, they would be exposed to 68 times the German limit. Even if only 2 percent of the dietary intake were contaminated to permissible EU and Japanese limits, the annual effective dose would already be over the German limit of 1 mSv.

“Calculations based on models used by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) show that dietary intake of the maximum amount of radioactive contamination permitted in the EU and Japan would lead to at least roughly 150,000 fatalities in Germany each year. Other calculation models reach vastly higher figures. If the entire German population were to eat foods exposing individuals to only 5 percent of the contamination currently allowed in food imports from Japan, at least 7,700 fatalities could be expected; this figure doesn’t even include the secondary consequences of a wide range of greatly varying diseases and genetic disorders.”

“Other countries have to some extent set much stricter limits and thereby done more to protect human health. Even the limits in Ukraine and Belarusare much stricter and have continuously tightened over the last few years. The permissible limit for cesium-137 in milk products in Ukraine and Belarus is 100 becquerels per kilogram (Bq/kg), whereas this value stands at 370 Bq/kg in the EU and 200 Bq/kg in Japan.”

Prolonged incorporation of radioisotope in the organism more than 30 Bq/kg is very undesirable, because could lead to the serious consequences: structural and metabolic alterations, energetic deficit, impairment of their functions, death, cell’s poison, cardiomyopathy, cardiac rhythm disturbance, and contraction function of myocardium, spasm of peripheral vessels – Page 26: http://www.chernobyl-today.org/images/stories/Bandajevski_2001_Radiocaesium_and_heart.pdf

Of the 248 children who are in the Belarusian village Bartolomewka at home, half suffering from chronic tonsillitis, epistaxis and resulting anemia, more frequent colds and general immune weakness. Physician assistants Suglob: “Even the eyesight deteriorates more and more.”

In 1990, members of the Belarusian people’s demanded investigation of the circumstances of concealing information about the Chernobyl disaster. No results, further Coper Up, 1994 came Lukashenko into power and installed the dictatorship: Chernobyl forbidden by decree! http://www.svaboda.org/content/article/24266048.html

The European Union imports radioactive goods from areas with a maximum of 20 Milli Sievert per Year (official) AND MORE – that’s an equivalent of 50 (!) mammograms! FOR CHILDREN. This is dangerous and irresponsible.

So far had a radioactivity of cesium-134 and cesium-137 have been allowed by a maximum of 600 becquerels per kilogram. Since last weekend the EU limit for food from affected areas in Japan, however, was significantly increased. Consumer organization FoodWatch (web) and the Environment Institute Munich announced in a joint statement, that: For example, should fish oil or spices to their previous value to twenty times higher than what corresponds to 12 500 becquerels per kilogram.

Discovered today: Chanterelles from Belarus – the most Chernobyl irradiated country in the World. Mushrooms / Chanterelles absorb radiation like a sponge absorbs water! DO NOT BUY THEM!
